Our City, Christchurch
Our City, Christchurch, Heritage municipal building in central Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Queen Anne style building stands at Worcester Street and Oxford Terrace intersection, featuring terracotta sculptures representing Industry and Concord on its exterior.
The structure served as Christchurch City Council offices from 1887 to 1924, marking a significant period in local government administration.
Samuel Hurst Seager designed this building in 1886, introducing the Queen Anne architectural style to New Zealand for the first time.
The building will reopen in June 2024 following extensive restoration work that cost over 10.5 million New Zealand dollars.
The structure contains two terracotta sculptures by George Frampton, which remain integral elements of the building's architectural composition.
